DanMachi, My Members Are From Slice-of-Life Anime

Meanwhile, Shaka herself tried to contact Makise Kurisu. This task wasn't difficult. There were appointment records for her on the forum, which naturally included her contact information.

Xia Jia opened QQ, entered the number, and quickly added Makise Kurisu. After a brief self-introduction, Xia Jia got straight to the point and described the problem she was currently facing.

Makise Kurisu: [You mean, all players who used the fluctuating light for stealth experienced time-disorientation syndrome after logging out of the game?]

Shaka: [I think the truth is quite the opposite. I suspect that for some reason, the world's timeline is in chaos, and my Yao Guang system successfully circumvented this rule at midnight, the time of day-night transition.]

Makise Kurisu: [Hmm, rather than the whole world having problems, I'm more inclined to believe that only a minority are having issues.]

...Just like if the whole world thinks 1+1=3, even if there is a lot of evidence to tell you that it equals 2, it only proves that you have a problem.

Xia Jia understood the situation and continued typing.

Shaka: [What you said isn't wrong, but truth is always held by a minority, isn't it?]

Kurisu Makise: [Even if what you said is true, it doesn't have any subjective impact on anyone, right? So there's no need to deliberately deal with it.]

Shaga: [I don't understand physics, but since you're a researcher of time, let me ask you a question: If someone really could reverse time, then every player on our side could potentially become a reborn being. Buying lottery tickets, becoming rich overnight, or even making significant changes to the timeline—what kind of situation would arise after the final convergence of time?]

The messages on Xia Jia's phone hadn't been replied to for a long time. Just as Xia Jia blocked the other person, a new message popped up...

Kurisu Makise: [If we're just speculating, I don't think the outcome will be good. The world's economy is constant; if someone gains, someone else loses. And the accumulation of large sums of money might only result in each person losing one dollar, or a company going bankrupt instantly, or employees committing mass suicide.]

After the second time loop, these suicides could reshape time, potentially leading to the extinction of humanity.

Of course, this is just speculation; it would be better if there were more direct and objective data.

Shaka could tell from the girl's writing that she valued knowledge. Her erudition earned Shaka's approval.

Shaka: [In terms of objective information, nothing is better than witnessing it firsthand.]

Makise Kurisu: [Huh?]

Shaka: [Want to come to "The Myth of the Familia"? There's nothing better than experiencing the power of the Yao Guang firsthand.]

Makise Kurisu: [Is it okay?]

Xia Jia: [Send me your shipping address.]

……

Not long after, Xia Jia received a message on her phone with the delivery address being a supermarket safe deposit box.

"Quite cautious."

Xia Jia forwarded the address to Sha You, telling her to set off immediately to send out the extra helmets from her home.

At the same time, Kotoko Iwanaga was asked to help investigate other potential time-manipulation users.

"The Great Rock Empire is too vast, and my knowledge of its future is limited. I can only do my best."

After finishing everything, Xia Jia lay back on the bed, emptying her mind.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door of the dormitory room.

The voice of the goddess Astraea called out, "Natsu-chan, are you there?"

"No, she's asleep." Xia Jia's mind was a complete blank, and she subconsciously refused to think about the problem.

The goddess's voice continued: "News has come from the school district that Tokomaru and the others set off for the Misty Forest overnight with the 'Seventh Squad'?"

"Huh?" Xia Jia sat up abruptly, opened the door and asked, "Didn't they log off? It's so late, aren't they going to class?"

But Shaga quickly remembered that the timeline had changed; today was Christmas...

So, winter break is here...

I'm super!

Astraea looked conflicted: "The school district is leaving tomorrow, so..."

Shaga immediately changed into Cecil's newly made light armor, slammed the door, and left: "I'm leaving right away."

……

There's a reason why the Seventh Squad is called the "Problem Squad".

Ignoring advice and engaging in numerous actions that violated school rules is the origin of their nickname. Of course, mere troublemakers don't deserve to be famous.

It is well known that so-called problem children are not lacking in talent.

The ringleader was Batin, who caused most of the trouble. Then Lefia and Arisa followed behind to stop them, so they were also dragged onto the pirate ship.

It was for this reason that Lefia, who was often dragged around by Batin to unleash artillery fire, earned the nickname "Magic Idiot".

The cause of this incident was the Immortal Relics.

However, this time the trouble they caused was on a larger scale, and they even brought along members of Shaja's group.

Because of unexpected events in everyday life, the relatively normal children like Kuroko felt a sense of urgency. Unlike Kotoko Iwanaga, they didn't even have the ability to intervene in the events.

After much deliberation, she decided that logging back into the game and improving her strength was the only way to put her mind at ease. She also hoped to gain greater power to protect her loved ones.

Through a series of coincidences, the current exploration team was born.

[Astraea Familia] Here:

Carrying a specially made giant warhammer, Tokishori walked at the front, and when he encountered monsters, he basically killed them with one blow.

The black cat, fused with Mame-no-suke, followed behind, occasionally healing Dekomori.

Yuki and Yui stood behind the black cat, acting as the witch's guards.

On the school district side: Heavy Knight Batin, Alchemist Nathan, Magician Elf Lefia, and Human Arisa.

This team should have no problem clearing up to around level 20 of the dungeon.

The group of eight walked on the blackened earth scorched by wildfires.

A series of loud crashes echoed as the guards cleared the way. As they ventured deeper, a thick fog rolled in.

Lefia shrank back, clutching her staff:

"Hey, Batin, this place feels really scary. Maybe we should go back."

"My O-type soul senses it! A terrifying magical power is emanating from the depths of the thick fog!" Batin laughed heartily.

"You don't want to give up halfway, do you?"

Black Cat didn't care. After learning the truth about the world, they felt even more confident. Since they wouldn't die anyway, they could just cover the rear and let "Class 7" go first.

Tomori grinned, flashing his bright white teeth, and patted his chest, declaring, "Watch me, death!"

"Thunder Cyclone!!"

Whirring whirring--

The massive warhammer was spun around by the convex guard, making a buzzing sound like a helicopter propeller.

The surrounding mist suddenly dispersed due to the force of the giant object's rotation...

Yui jumped up: "Well done! Thunder Hammer user!"

The black cat also snorted.

Only Nathan looked serious. He pulled out a notebook, quickly flipped through it, and said:

"Based on my deduction, there is only one possible explanation for her wielding the weapon in that manner."

There was no need to wait for Nathan to say anything.

Lefia grabbed Batin by the collar and shouted, "Oh no! Miss Dekomori has been thrown out—!!"

The skills of the Defiance are unique; they neither enhance the Defiance's strength nor reduce the weapon's weight.

This raises a problem: the only thing that the Defiant Guardian can ignore is the weight of the hammer itself; effects caused by other forces cannot be exempted.

For example... centripetal force and reaction force.

It felt like reaching out and grabbing a speeding train at a train station. Although Dekomori could ignore the downward force of the giant hammer, the forward force generated by swinging the weapon still existed.

And so, naturally, Dekomori flew away.

Everyone frantically ran after the direction the Dekomori had flown out of. Fortunately, the fog was broken by the cannonball-like object, and they were able to find the Dekomori safely.

"Fallen Saint... I think I can still save Death..."

"I don't have much mental energy either! You better behave yourself."

"Hi...death."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Tokomori reached out and tremblingly grabbed the black cat's ankle, only to be met with a white wind baptism in her queen-like face-stomping mode.

"Ah ha~~~" Tu Shou, blushing and wriggling like a maggot.

"Shut up."

"Hi……"

The white wind dissipated...

Dekomori strikes a Kamen Rider pose and shouts, "Thunder Hammer User, Sanae Dekomori, resurrect!"

The group ignored them and continued on their way.

Not long after, Lefia's ears twitched; she seemed to sense a peculiar magical force at work.
